Pause Button Interaction?????

Okay so i created a pause button using on clicked object > set time scale > 1-timescale

This works fine and pauses and resumes the game just fine. The problem i'm having is as follows

The player is in a fixed position and is rotated when click anywhere on the screen (this is the idea of the game) but when i click the pause button since that is laying on top of the screen, when i resume the game, the player rotates since it is interacting with the screen that lies underneath the pause button. How can i stop the two from interacting?

add a condition to the event that makes the player rotate..

mouse is not over pause button..

what do you mean by that? I just cut the background/sprite around the pause button

I sorted it thank you
